Pasadena man charged with torture and sex-related crimes

On April 28, 2013 shortly before 9:00 AM, Pasadena Police Dispatchers (PPD) received a 911 call transfer from the California Highway Patrol. The woman on the phone was distraught and uttered she was in Pasadena and had been burned and tied up by a male. The call was then disconnected.
Pasadena Police Officer connected the caller’s phone number to a residence in the 700 block of N. Pasadena Avenue. Upon arrival, officers discovered a damage door with a small amount of substance resembling blood. No one was located at the residence, but officers obtained the name of the possible resident. Later that day, Los Angeles Police Department notified the PPD that a Hispanic female-21 was found suffering from severe chemical burns at a Los Angeles area hospital. Pasadena patrol officers responded and determined she was the original caller.
The investigation revealed that the victim had been intentionally burned by a suspect, who she met in Los Angeles and agreed to follow him to his home in Pasadena. At the residence, the suspect convinced her to pose for a picture wearing a motorcycle helmet. After placing the helmet on her head, the victim felt a burning sensation against her skin. When she attempted to remove the helmet, the suspect held the helmet in place until she lost consciousness. She later awoke to find the suspect sexually assaulting her. The suspect was identified as Piotr Igor Dudkiewicz, Caucasian male-39, and Pasadena resident.
On 4/29/2013 about 8:00 AM, La Verne Police Department contacted the PPD advising they had the suspect detained. Pasadena Police Detectives subsequently booked Mr. Dudkiewicz for torture, mayhem and various sex-related crimes.
On 5/1/2013, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed the following charges:
PC 206 Torture
PC 205 Aggravated mayhem
PC 236 False imprisonment
